▍內容簡介
我知道不是光陰虧待了我們,終究錯的可能只是人生。
愛情的實踐,是對光陰最大膽的辯證。

在那個夏日之後,又過了二十年,艾里歐、奧利佛、薩謬爾的人生都有了劇烈的變化。

恢復單身的薩謬爾,已經放棄追尋愛情。直到某天在火車上,熱情奔放的米蘭達讓他感受愛情翩然降臨。
她直言不諱的表白,打破薩謬爾內心年齡的枷鎖。終於,他決定勇敢拋開束縛,義無反顧再愛一回……

艾里歐與奧利佛分別之後,誰都無法真正觸動他內心的情感。唯有偶遇的成熟男子米榭爾,他的體貼與關懷讓艾里歐敞開心扉。
米榭爾手中那份神祕的樂譜,原來也是另一段被光陰耽誤的動人愛情,
被無情戰火阻絕的小提琴手與鋼琴家浪漫愛戀,令艾里歐想起十七歲那年的記憶……

結了婚的奧利佛,有著穩定的家庭關係。但是,他始終沒有忘記那年夏天,海邊屋子發生的事。
他終於決定改變生活,回到那棟屋子,回到艾里歐面前,
坦率面對經過二十年之後,兩人尚未了結的感情……

▍本書特色
◎延續《以你的名字呼喚我》的溫柔筆調,對話更深深沁入人心。
◎經過二十年後的人物變化與生命轉折是本書最吸引人之處,作者運用三位主角的觀點轉換巧妙地連結了三人看自不相關的故事,是青春年少的愛情不斷變奏的精采呈現。

▍媒體評論
艾席蒙二○○七年的暢銷小說《以你的名字呼喚我》被改編成電影,榮獲奧斯卡提名,但是你不需要看過這本書,也能立刻愛上它充滿性吸引力又憂傷的續作。它既全然獨立,又與前作息息相關,它像一首優美的頌歌,訴說光陰的流逝、真愛的永久力量以及孤寂的痛苦……書中的角色後來的發展慢慢揭露,有如一曲輝煌的古典樂。──BuzzFeed網站

《以你的名字呼喚我》在處理愛的本質方面廣受好評,而《在世界的盡頭找到我》也含蓄而優雅地延續了這個主題。它處理角色心理的手法敏銳而深刻,不過最吸引讀者興趣的問題是艾里歐和奧利佛這對悲劇戀人是否能重聚。但願如此。──《書單雜誌》

這本書以豐富細膩的細節、幽微的情感以及感動人心的浪漫當作引子,把你深深吸引到情節中,你會再度相信愛情。──《好主婦》雜誌

優雅……這本小說的靈魂是艾里歐,而它的核心主題,包括為人父、音樂、時間與命運的本質、往昔的重量與隱含的希望,都以灌注了情欲、懷舊與溫柔的流暢文字娓娓道來。這本小說再次展現艾席蒙融合感性與理性的功力,他的故事能觸動你心。──《出版人週刊》

《在世界的盡頭找到我》感動人心又不流於濫情……一個講述跨世代恆久愛情的優雅而值得留在記憶中的故事。──《柯克斯評論》

《在世界的盡頭找到我》帶來感官上的享受……無論在非虛構作品或虛構作品中,艾席蒙都始終如一地專注在記憶和歷史責任的主題上。脆弱與無懼的心痛感受使這本書超越了『究竟該不該有續集』的疑問。──Observer網站,蘿倫‧勒布朗

艾席蒙打造出一部和《以你的名字呼喚我》一樣深沉而卓越的續作,可說是完全體現了他的特色,最後艾里歐和奧利佛在故事過了多年後重新有了交集,締造了專屬於這個故事的終曲。艾席蒙以完美手法穿針引線,用他博學而全知的風格拆解結構,把故事繼續說下去……艾席蒙的才華仍然不變,使得《在世界的盡頭找到我》憑自己的本事成為一本傑作。──Shelf Awareness網站,戴夫‧惠勒

Dazzling --Parul Sehgal of The New York Times Book Review at the 92nd St Y

Aciman's quiet, label-free presentation of bisexual life represents a minor triumph . . . Likewise, his refusal to offer easy resolution, which infuses the whole romantic enterprise with a kind of delicious melancholy. There are moments, particularly in the final chapter, that may have readers gazing tearfully into their fireplaces, real or imaginary, just like Timothée Chalamet at the end of Luca Guadagnino's superlative film of 'Call Me by Your Name.' --Charles Arrowsmith, The Washington Post

"[Find Me] is a lyrical meditation on being forced to move to another location after the party's over, on the Sisyphean task of trying to replicate the magic of young passion . . . it strikes an affectingly melancholy chord." --Josh Duboff, The New York Times Book Review

You don't have to have read Call Me by Your Name, Aciman's 2007 bestselling novel turned Oscar-nominated movie, to immediately fall in love with this sexy, melancholic follow-up. It stands entirely separate, yet connected, a beautiful ode to the passage of time, to the lasting power of true love and the ache of loneliness . . . the revelations about who these characters have become unraveling slowly like a gorgeous piece of classical music. --Buzzfeed

"Call Me By Your Name was widely praised for its treatment of the nature of love, a theme that Find Me continues with subtlety and grace. Its treatment of the characters' psychology is astute and insightful, but what will ultimately drive reader interest is the question of whether star-crossed lovers Elio and Oliver will reunite. One can only hope." --Booklist(Starred Review)

Love in all its sublime iterations is at the heart of Aciman's incandescent sequel to the acclaimed Call Me by Your Name . . . Aciman gifts readers with a beautiful 21st-century romance that reflects on the remembrance of things past and the courage to embrace the future. --Library Journal(Starred Review)

"With all of the richly painted details, emotional nuance, and deeply affecting romance as the first installment, this book will draw you in and make you believe in love again." --Good Housekeeping

"Aciman writes about desire with blunt honesty, describing erotic and emotional interactions with equal clarity. Sex can be tender or not, the connection lasting or ephemeral, but it is almost always multilayered and complex." --Clea Simon, Boston Globe

"The sequel is just as maddeningly seductive as the original."--ELLE

"Elegant . . . Elio is the heart of the novel, as its core themes--including fatherhood, music, the nature of time and fate, the weight and promise of the past--are infused with eroticism, nostalgia and tenderness in fluid prose. The novel again demonstrates Aciman's capacity to fuse the sensual and the cerebral in stories that touch the heart." --Publishers Weekly

"[Find Me] is touching without being sentimental . . . An elegant, memorable story of enduring love across the generations." --Kirkus Reviews

"Soulful"--People Magazine

"The focus of Find Me is the unlived life, the real life that comes to a standstill . . . Aciman's clever arrangement takes advantage of the frustrated desire of the reader to see Elio and Oliver reunited . . . Far more ambitious than Call Me by Your Name . . . great care has gone into the artistic shaping of this narrative."--Anne Serre, TheTimes Literary Supplement

A structural marvel . . . proves itself indispensable to longtime readers and newcomers alike.--Garrett Biggs, The Chicago Review of Books

Find Me is a sensual delight . . . Throughout his nonfiction and fiction, Aciman has maintained a profound preoccupation with memory and the responsibility of history. An aching sense of vulnerability and fearlessness drives this book past any question of whether or not a sequel was warranted. --Lauren LeBlanc, Observer

"Find Me is written in the same spiraling prose . . . full of grace, with some sentences approaching page length--that Call Me by Your Name was. I devoured the novel quickly, and on rereading have found myself unable to break away from Aciman's hypnotic rhythms."--Spencer Kornhaber, The Atlantic

"I'm relishing this indulgent sequel--sex, sculptures, food, villas: everything a person could want from a novel or from life." --Richie Hoffman, Poetry Foundation

"Exquisite"--Kate Erbland, IndieWire

Aciman had his work cut out for himself in crafting a sequel as contemplative and gorgeous as Call Me by Your Name, which ended in its own coda of Elio's and Oliver's paths crossing years and years hence. Threading that needle perfectly, Aciman continues his story, parsing its very structure in his erudite, knowing style . . . Aciman's genius holds true and makes Find Me a splendid work in its own right. --Dave Wheeler, Shelf Awareness (Starred Review)

"Stubbornly unsentimental, but nevertheless beautiful . . . Find Me is, at heart, a meditation on how love bends and warps over time, but never quite disappears."--Kristin Iversen, Nylon

This [book] functioned like a medical-grade SAD lamp in the dead of February. It is a lively novel about sentimental Americans in Italy who feel a wider range of emotions in seven minutes than most people do in a month. --Molly Young, Vulture

"A devastatingly honest reflection on the authenticity of love and life . . . Find Me is a truly remarkable achievement of love beyond the honeymoon teenage years."-- Tomás Guerrero Jaramillo, Harvard Crimson

--This text refers to the paperback edition.

André Aciman is the New York Times bestselling author of Call Me by Your Name, Enigma Variations, Out of Egypt, Eight White Nights, False Papers, Alibis, Harvard Square, and is the editor of The Proust Project. He teaches comparative literature at the Graduate Center of the City University of New York. He lives with his wife in Manhattan. --This text refers to the paperback edition.
